Cotton Eye Candy - Tastes good, but no substance

Rating: 5/10 (21 July 2013)

I went in expecting eye candy and that's what I got. The SFX were enough to pull you into this alternate reality. However; the actors were limited by the dialog and the dialog was limited by the story limitations. The two scientist were the wrong actors for those roles and pulls my score down. In fact all of the characters were either miss- cast or poor generalizations of stereo types; even the bad guy wasn't that good at being bad.
In any case, pick any a disaster flick, rename the characters and add some giant robots fighting Godzilla sized monsters. There ya go. Not much more too it. It's not on my top 100, but it's not in the bottom 100 either. When it shows up on Amazon Prime or Netflix, I'll watch it again to see what I missed the first time; but I won't be buying it a full price, or even half price.
